The 2020 Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) is hereby adopted and the new project authorizations and CDBG categories listed herein are hereby approved. Section 3.

Section 4. The City Controller, the City Treasurer, and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget are hereby authorized to place in the Bond Fund all cash currently on hand from the proceeds of the sale of debt and to accept reimbursement to such funds from other sources for expenditures made under Federal, State, or private grant programs. Section 5. The City Controller, the City Treasurer, and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget are hereby authorized to transfer from the Bond Fund to the Capital Revolving Fund such funds as may be received as reimbursement for Capital Projects for which Bond Anticipation Notes have been specifically sold in previous years to fund such reimbursable projects. Section 6. The City Controller, the City Treasurer, and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget are hereby authorized to place in the Capital Fund all cash currently on hand from the transfer of funds from the City’s Fund Balance to the Capital Budget, and to accept reimbursement to such fund from other sources for expenditures made under Federal, State, or private grant programs. Section 7. The resolution authorizes the issuance of requests for proposals, estimates, bids, cost projections, and other allowable contracting procedures pursuant to Chapter 161 of the City Code for each project listed herein. However, no funds shall be encumbered or expended prior to the authorization of each project or contract by an additional resolution or resolutions. Section 8. Budget control shall be at the project and fund level. The City Controller and the Office of Management and Budget are hereby authorized to make transfers between deliverables within a project. 1 Section 9. The City Council Budget Director is authorized to make minor technical and formatting changes to the budget as needed. No changes shall change the funding of any projects or deliverables, or otherwise be substantive in nature. 2 Introduction 3 The 2020 Capital Budget and Capital Improvement Plan This document is the 2020 Capital Budget and Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) as approved by City Council. It contains a list of capital projects, along with funding levels for each of these projects. WHAT IS A CAPITAL PROJECT? Title II, Chapter 218 of the City Code defines a capital project as: “Any project funded by public monies to design, build, restore, retain, or purchase any City-owned asset that is expected to provide a long- term public benefit or propose physical improvements in an element of the City’s infrastructure. Capital Projects shall have a minimum value of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) and a minimum useful life of five years. Capital Projects financed through debt should have a minimum useful life no shorter than the length of debt service. Capital Projects that have a shorter minimum useful life should be funded with PAYGO funds.” While maintenance is not a capital expenditure, capital projects do include renovation and major repair or reconstruction of damaged and deteriorating City-owned assets. SOURCE OF FUNDS PAYGO: The City funds a number of capital projects through a transfer from the general fund into the capital fund. PAYGO (or “pay-as-you-go”) transfers are funds that the City spends on capital projects that may not be eligible for bond or CDBG funds. In the 2020 Capital Improvement Plan, projects funded with PAYGO focus on new software for tax collection and network equipment upgrades, vehicle acquisition for the City’s fleet, leveraging external funding for the purchase of residential recycling containers, and expanding the network of bicycle lanes. Bond: Because Capital projects have a useful life extending beyond a few years, the City may incur debt in the form of municipal bonds in order to complete capital projects. The City incurs debt for two reasons. The first is that debt is an instrument to spread the cost of a project over all of the citizens who will benefit from the project: not just current citizens, but future ones as well. The second is the City does not have the funds on hand to complete the majority of projects from its own sources. Therefore, projects funded with debt proceeds should be long-lasting because we will be paying for the life of the debt. CDBG: The City receives support for capital projects from the federal government in the form of the Community Development Block Grant (known as “CDBG”). As a block grant, the CDBG program gives the City some flexibility on how to spend the money, provided the projects funded benefit low- and moderate-income people, benefit seniors, eliminate blight, or address a threat to health or safety.

  • Allocation Scenarios
    PAGE 1 OF 3 Capital Project Allocation Scenarios Sites are ordered by their Final Investment Priority Rank, which is based on their Community and Park Need Scores. Sites that include one or more nearby parks in the column "Consider with these nearby sites" may be considered as a single unit, with investment directed towards the park that is best positioned to serve the community's preferences. "Passive Sites" and Greenways are not included in this list. These are sites that lack significant amenities or have been targeted for naturalization; thus they should not receive Capital Project investments. For a list of "Passive Sites" and Greenways, see the Park Scoring Database. The Investment Priority Score will be recalculated annually based on new demographic data and information about recent park investments. As a result, the Investment Priority Ranking may shift if park or community conditions change. * All allocations are escalated to year-of-implementation dollars, assuming 2.1% annual inflation. Projects that are not assigned a year are listed in 2020 dollars.
